Upgrading an old T22 Laptop

I was hoping the community can help me with a cost-effective upgrade to an old T22 Laptop.

I wanted some links on a cheap way to upgrade the hard disk to a SSD/CF/Flash etc typ drive.

Requirements:

>16 GB
>Maximum speed for the PATA interface (will this make CF cost prohibitive)


I am using Xubuntu as my OS of choice. Thanks for the help!

i'd say less than 75 USD. i was hoping to use an adapter to enable the use of a CF card or a USB stick or something. My goal was to combine the fastest possible solution without going over the max speed of the PATA interface.

Thanks for your help. I was looking at some drivese on Newegg and it goes not seem i can get the capacity i want (16 GB >= ) at the price point im comfortable with.
